Sueli Montilha, BACP, NCPS

Sueli Montilha uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people through emotional and sexual wellbeing concerns. She draws on six years of experience across the charity sector and the NHS. Sueli aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about anxiety, trauma, relationship troubles and questions about sexual functioning. She trained with an Advanced Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and holds a Certificate in Counselling Children from CPCAB. She also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions and earned an MSc in Contemporary Psychosexual Therapy with distinction. Those qualifications shape how she structures sessions and the tools she offers. Sueli has worked with complex trauma, including sexual trauma, and with common mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. She helps people who face relationship and communication problems, intimacy concerns, and sexual difficulties like erectile or ejaculatory problems, arousal and desire issues, painful intercourse, and orgasm concerns. Originally from Brazil, Sueli has lived in several countries and brings a multicultural perspective to her work. She is attentive to diversity and intersectionality, and is GSRD aware - meaning she works respectfully with different genders, sexualities, and relationship types, including non-monogamous arrangements. Her approach is grounded in a bio-psychosocial framework. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Sueli uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional recovery. One common approach she uses helps people understand how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect, and then builds small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress where daily habits keep problems going.

Another strand of her work addresses sexual wellbeing and relationship communication. These methods break down intimate problems into manageable steps, improve conversations about desire or difficulty, and support rebuilding sexual functioning over time. They suit people dealing with sexual dysfunction, intimacy worries or conflict about relationship boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options with each person and choose or combine techniques based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives, makes it easier to have shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or removes travel time. Others prefer sessions that use video or audio for clearer face-to-face conversation, but please check which formats are available when you book.
